I'm always going to take the side of functional language over prescriptive grammar. My wife gets vexed when I say 'of' rather than 'have' in the context mentioned above - shock horror! I make linguistic mistakes - but if the spoken implicature isn't rendered ambiguous by the error, then I don't really give a fuck. I find it mildly irritating in written language, but again, if the message is unmuddied, then I've got plenty more bigger fish to fry in the sea or whatever, guy.
